chris: will paul ryan join john boehner, the speaker, in trying to work out a deal? or he will be a rejectionist and set up the big rebel flag and say i'm going to be the die-hard? >> no one knows the answer to that question. that is yet to be seen. paul ryan is in a terrible situation. he can choose to do the right thing or he can decide, you know, he's obviously running for president in 2016, or he can decide to be the holdout and to be the rejectionist. president obama is lucky to have john boehner on the other side that have table because john bainer is not a crazy person. and he can work a deal. right now he simply does not have the votes. but -- again, the president does have to lead here. he has to bring something to the table. he has to be willing to give some that so that john boehner can bring his people to the table, too. but he can deliver. he's been mischaracterized i think. it's convenient for the white house to say, oh, boehner can't get his people behind him. boehner always gets his people behind him but the president has to bring something forward. c

, john boehner disputes that by the way, whether he did or not, we're in a new year. in fact, we're in the sixth month of a new year and we see the president with the "glee" people, with ellen, with "scrubs" actors and having a great time at unlv and wagging his finger and saying congress do something, but the bottom line is congress is not dominated by democrats. you have to give a little and take a little now. >> look, this president is so out of touch with the american people. this president has spent more time campaigning than his five predecessors combined and a third of his time is spent at fundraisers schmoozing with people like george clooney, people on wall street, sarah jessica parker so it's no surprise that he thinks that the economy is doing just fine because he's completely out of touch with americans. but if you go and ask those 23 million americans who are out of work and can't find a job, and ask them how is the economy doing? they will tell you the truth. that it's lousy and that this president is out of touch. >> the media reports on this press conf
